Point-of-care testing is an area of diagnostics that is becoming increasingly important, and here at BIVDA we would like to gain a clearer understanding of the current POC environment across the UK. We have therefore produced a short survey that we would like all POC co-ordinators to complete. This survey, which should take no more than 10 minutes to complete, can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BIVDA_POC 

 We have had a good response already but in order to reach as many people as possible we thought it would be worth sharing the link with ACB members directly through the mailbase. Your answers to the questions in this survey will only be available to BIVDA members of staff and will not be shared with individual member companies. All the answers we receive will be collected and anonymised, and a summary report generated. This will provide a useful insight into the POC environment as it is today . The report will be sent to you via the member company that has sent you this email, and will also be put up on our website, www.bivda.co.uk, when available and we will also share the link on the mailbase. Your email address will not be available to us.

In order to comply with the Data Protection Act,  individuals have only been contacted by BIVDA member companies to their own POC contacts on our behalf, therefore, there is a possibility that you may have received the survey link more than once. If this occurs, please do not complete the survey a second time.

Many thanks in advance for your participation. Please could all responses be returned by the 15th of December. If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Elliott King ([log in to unmask])

All best wishes
